I have been wanting to make a crawler lure for a while but I have been put off by how to design the shape of the wings to guarantee that the lure will have a strong crawling action. And then, it just came to me one day! In this video I go through the build, step by step, and show you what I figured out to make a topwater crawler with killer action.

I am loving the water videography.... the rain drops, the topwater and underwater footage, the slow mo... well done!

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

Thank you😊

@midori9384 2 года назад

congratulations, great solution for the wings...I had given up on my project with wings...

i can remember my uncles brazing lures when they were living there remember they took off a hud caps from a police car the had chrome one they love the challenge of finding thing to build from it i have shelves filled with jigs and patterns to lures in on of the sheds their had opened a new lever of lure making for me now that's i now understand how they made theirs now from you

When i was in to freshwater bass fishing the old wood Heddon crazy crawlers were one of my absolute favorite lures to use. Never cared much for the plastic ones as they never cast of swam the same. I think I'll need to make one of these to see how it works for Striped bass.

@bonesstones6584 3 года назад

Beautiful work as usual. That lure covered in fur and with a tail, man that would be a killer combination for snakeheads!

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

I'm planning to be in south Florida later in the summer...I'll have this with me targeting snakeheads.

Nice build, got a big chuckle out of "red doesn't count"!

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

Yes...I seem to have issues with limiting colors. Oh well could be worse...

@wasntPete 3 года назад

Once again an excellent lure build and some serious thinking outside the box well done.

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

Thank you

I can't remember the antique lure with this design. Was a phenomenal lowlight lure from way back in the day

@briankissling7934 3 года назад

Heddon Crazy Crawler...They still work great...

@TRICOTSTRICOTS 3 года назад

Another creative lure design...👍👍👍

Great episode! I think you just set yourself into a league of your own.

Wow... that's so nice of you to say.

What a cool build, and such good videography!

@joehall5487 3 года назад

Very cool...ha ha...great action!

@helicopterjohns 3 года назад

Really Cool! Looks like an Olympic swimmer.

@bigt9341 3 года назад

This is a great build and reminds me of an old Heldon crazy crawler lure my grandfather gave me. Larger size will be a great Muskie/pike lure. Action is tremendous. Form follows function - meaning the lure looks bulky in the water the action is great.

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

Thanks.

Fantastic crawler! I am gonna built this brutal lure too i think with 4 wings. Maybe i catch some hungry pikes over here.. Thanks for sharing and caring Franco!🤝

Good luck and thanks.

@waynelabit993 3 года назад

Another awesome lure Franco!!! Love the concept and creative techniques you used to create the wings and give them fantastic action.🙌

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

Thanks a bunch

@pitbullcustomlures1917 3 года назад

we use these type lures here in Australia all the time on murray cod. They work best at dusk, night and dawn. I wonder how your bass like it. looks great

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

I'm looking forward to giving it a shot at sundown on my lake. Thank you for watching and for commenting.

@42fishing69 3 года назад

The frog looks grate I am in A.U and make a lot of surface lures and have found you don't need the weight in the bottom of your lure. The wings will self right the lure as it is moving along.

@BigSargeH 3 года назад

Idea try the clear plastic knife you profile shape is almost there just heat with heat gun to twist your wing and the backbone of knife should be about as strong as your prototype for hinging

@pastmasters9591 3 года назад

Genius!

@tedlincolnsfishinglife 3 года назад

cool bait! i'm curious how well the gule on the spoons holds up... also think i know a lake near you that you should try fishing it!

@kbye5323 3 года назад

Love your channel! Wondering if you made the wings out of a plastic spoon if you could use some old silverware from a thrift store for metal wings. Keep up the amazing work. I have learned a ton from your channel!

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

That was my first idea but I have not been able to find spoons with thin enough metal. I'm thinking stainless measuring spoons are often very thin...the experiments never end, I love it.

Hi my friend

@wayned5872 3 года назад

Consider using a piece of pipe to do ur bends , I'm guessing 11/4 or 11/2 pipe maybe 2" for a slow rolling curve

@mikeb8811 3 года назад

This style lure would make an awesome mouse looking bait after you add a tail.

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

I was thinking the same thing...

@MAGNUSDRONES 3 года назад

Great build. I personally like the wings from the spoons because of the compound curve but wondering if you saw a difference in action with the angle bend on the Lexan? 👍

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

Not much...I did have to trim a bit off the tips to get a more aggressive action...but it works.

@SuperRobertheath 3 года назад

Those turned out great. Did you have to do much tuning to get them to crawl correctly?

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

On the larger one...it was just chugging ahead. It had too much wing tip. Ground down about an 8th inch off the tips...works like a charm.

@thewarpsyrhead 3 года назад

Did you make that fish sculpture that’s on the outside of your shop? That could be a cool video, even if there isn’t much engineering involved

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

No...it was a gift.

@riclindsey329 Год назад

I think you did some wanderful engineering,but I can't see a bass hitting that lure because of the wings being in the way,, I'd love to have that lure just to put in a collection..

@EngineeredAngler Год назад

Bass love these walking lures especially in low light.

@deanbrady3522 3 года назад

Great lure build as always. Did you have any issues with the support wire in the wings bending back to far after a few casts and retrievals.

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

No, the little stopper wire works pretty well, we'll see what happens when I get a fish with it

@armaviewer2578 3 года назад

Make a yellow baby duck with those wings

@jarodbrenneman8661 3 года назад

Can you make a jigerbug?. ps that's a nice lure.

@michaelbond142 Год назад

Could make the wings out of dollar store metal spoons

@weteranzwedka 2 года назад

Hello. Frog world championship. I have one question. Do the wings withstand taking a large fish and do they not affect the number of bites because the fish "bounce". Greetings from Poland.

@EngineeredAngler 2 года назад

I think a really big fish could damage the wings but there's always a price 😀

@lockpickingengineer7458 3 года назад

We can no longer get plastic spoons in Australia. Would the bamboo spoons work?

@EngineeredAngler 3 года назад

Sure...give it a try.

@brianwatts8773 Год назад

Hi Franco, I recently took a stab at a crawler design of my own, but when retrieving, the entire bait spins like a propeller. I am guessing this is a result of the wings being off set but I'm not positive. Do you have any insight on this?

@EngineeredAngler Год назад

That's right uneven pressure on the flippers
